Ross,
I think you would really love the Cosina/Voigtlander 40. Heavier &
bigger than the Zuiko - and (as you probably know) focuses 'backwards'
and takes 62mm filters but otherwise much easier to handle and use than
the Zuiko. Bokeh, contrast and sharpness are superior as well. A really
nice lens. I enjoyed mine, but in the end sold it and kept the Zuiko as
I use it regularly for climbing when I want a compact SLR rig.
